Whch Littmann Stethoscope ?
Should I get the Littmann Lightweight II or the Littmann Select? I understand the Littmann Cardiology steths are considered "the best", but price (these 2 are the same price) and quality is what I am considering at this moment in time.
Also, as far as BP kits...are they all the same or is there a brand(s) that is better than others?
I'll be honest...a good stethoscope is nice, but as the old joke goes, the most important part of the stethoscope is the part between the earpieces.
I have a Cardiology Stethoscope. The double bell is nice, but the one I carry on the wards is a cheapie Littman someone gave me when I was just starting med school. It works just fine, I worry less about losing it, and it isn't as heavy as the cardiology version.
As far as blood pressure kits...if they're telling you that you need one for learning on, buy the cheapest one you can find. You will never use the thing. All wards and all medical offices have much better ones that you will want to pay for available, and you will never want to have to be lugging the thing around with you anyway.
You should invest in a decent ophthalmoscope/otoscope combination. They're available on the wards too, but it's nice to have one you can carry in your pocket and not worry about dragging in on wheels. But check around online. You can get much better deals on much nicer equipment than the bookstore probably carries, and you definitely DON'T need one of the thousand-dollar versions the ophthalmologists use unless you're actually going into ophthalmology.
